I have been quite silent of late and I am sure a few of my dedicated readers will have noticed. This last month I have broken my publishing record. In almost 4 years I have published an article each Monday without fail. It was dedication to the work of eco activism, and my dedication to this community that I made this commitment without fail. Until recently that is. So I

This post is a sponsored collaboration with the Will Williams Meditation Centre in London. The post was written by Holly Ashby, a writer who works with the London meditation centre Will Williams Meditation, a meditation company which can help people achieve present moment awareness through an alternative to mindfulness – reducing their stress and providing a form of self-care. Choosing to live ethically is far from easy. Trying to fight against

Welcome to the first book review in for the Ethical Activist Book Club reading list. We are reading one title every two months, and the book for January and February in 2017 is Barbara Kingsolver’s Orange Prize-winning novel Flight Behaviour.

This thoughtful gift guide was compiled by Leah Wise and original appeared on her ethical fashion and lifestyle blog Stylewise. Clothes are great, but it’s safe to say I’ve accumulated more than enough. I’m fortunate to get nearly two weeks off of work around Christmas time, so I’m always looking for games, books, and other activities to enjoy as I savor long stretches of free time. In light of that,

The world will never be the same. But perhaps the election of Trump is a good thing. Only that is so f##king scary that it may well be the shock we all need to get out there and fight with all our might. There are so many thing that we need to do to fight this world. But we can’t let the globe to succumb the twin threats of climate

Some holiday inspiration, which originally appeared on Elizabeth Stilwell’s beautiful blog The Note Passer. This holiday season is gonna be awkward. Let’s focus on the food, shall we?

Like most of my liberal peers around the world I am in a state of shock. I never expected to be living in a world in which the US was led by a President Trump. Even some of the right wing government ministers in Australia openly said that they hoped Clinton would win the race. Yet here we are. I haven’t had a lot of time to come to terms

Today I’d like to introduce you to a very meaningful Tibetan social enterprise. Many of you will know that I am a community development practitioner,and I am passionate about the potential of social enterprise to contribute to meaningful change and sustainable economic opportunities. I particularly love sharing projects that empower women who are living their traditional lifestyles, to allow them to develop in ways that honour their valuable cultural traditions and way of

I am in middle of reading The Great Disruption and feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the state of the climate crisis, and the degree of transformation we will need to we in order to survive it.
